According to local publicity there should have been no buses between Willesborough and here today so when one turned up I decided to catch it and come here. Fairly busy as usual, exceptionally friendly bar staff made this a worthwhile visit. I took advantage of the £4.99 steak and chips again. I did not make a note of all the ales on sale but there was a fair selection from the Marstons range.

Early evening and busy as expected for a Saturday. Bar staff managed to keep up with the orders admirably.

Early evening visit and quite busy. Bar staff were friendly and attentive. I thought the steak and chips was good value at £4.99 but managed to get it for a bargain £3.99. I did not make a list of all the beers on offer but there was a good selection from the Marston's range.
